5.00We had to change to this from the disappearing island tour due to weather (totally out of their hands). They were great though. My mom fell and broke her ankle due to the low tides and the ramp being steep but they warned us about it and it was a freak accident. I only say this to brag on how amazing their team was. They jumped in. A dr walked up to help her immediately. Audra was the manager on duty at the time and she was beyond sweet. Sent us with a goodie bag for my mom and some stuff for the kids. My mom insisted the kids and my husband and I still go since we couldn’t be at the er with her and my dad anyways (and she is absolutely the type to feel worse if we would’ve cancelled lol). So we did get to do the tour. We loved Wendy I believe was our guide. Learned lots of random dolphin and local island facts we hadn’t heard prior. So that was fun too! Highly recommend this company as a whole.
The perfect family memory and accessible adventure for the perfect price!

5.00This is my fourth booking with Lowcountry Watersports (I had previously done the mini boat, jet ski tours, and dolphin cruise on my own) and I couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. My parents are aging and have some mobility issues but accessing the Dolphin Cruise boat was very easy for both and the seating was truly comfortable throughout. Lainer and the captain we're friendly, funny, and kept the kids highly entertained. We ran into TWO pods of dolphins and everyone on board got great photos and videos. It's the perfect family memory and accessible adventure for the perfect price!
Nice experience on the water.

5.00Didn’t see very many Dolphins…. Maybe they were resting. But all around good experience. Got to see very beautiful homes on the water.
Went on a dolphin cruise with my grandsons. We all had a wonderful time.
